Patrik Vandewalle, former CEO of Econocom Group, has taken a 30% share in the capital of Skelia Sarl through capital increase. The Skelia board has appointed Patrik as its new CEO.

“Skelia extends enterprises with dedicated, skilled resources in near-shore locations. Customer expectations and continually increasing competition on a world-wide scale are forcing industry to rethink business strategies, alliances, partnerships and resulting everyday operation. The smarter of these players will elect to outsource large pieces of their core businesses to superior firms and then recombine the pieces imaginatively to suit specific opportunities – thus creating a modular or plug-and-play capability that is both strong and flexible and that extends their original boundaries.

I am both delighted and excited to develop Skelia as leading player in nearshore operations for Benelux companies.”, says Patrik Vandewalle

Support by Skelia for all related areas (building, facilities, ICT, people development, etc.)

The Skelia business model is unique in the sense that Skelia works with dedicated teams per client, that it applies a transparent “cost+” pricing mode, and enables its clients to take-over their Skelia team in a fully-owned nearshore legal entity.
